SUMMIT COUNTY — After a slow start to the season, snow is piling up in Colorado, where many ski areas have seen up 3 feet of snow fall in the past week or so. Vail, for example, is reporting 28 inches in the past seven days. Copper Mountain reported 26 inches in that same span and has picked up 4 feet of snow in January, with 101 inches of snow for the season. Get the full CSCUSA snow report here.
